Judging from the technology alone, it's clear that Utopia's technology has reached a certain level, it's just that it's relatively understated.

With extremely high life expectancy and advanced medical technology, living for one or two hundred years is not a problem.

Therefore, each small house contains a wealth of information, and at least all the high-tech personal products one could need.

More importantly, the residents' mental state has reached a level of trust in those in power that borders on faith.

After dinner, Laurentina bid farewell to the hospitable Sarkaz family and continued her journey in the darkness, bathed in the glow of the Golden Tree.

How far can I go in a week?

A slight vibration came from beneath my feet; it was the rumble of an underground train. Countless transportation hubs crisscrossed the entire territory of Utopia, and the underground had long been hollowed out.

It even accomplished a remarkable feat: the Mobile City could receive underground train lines from all over the country.

This indicates that the degree of centralization in Utopia is already very high, with every detail representing Master Huang's power.

Utopia is a country with an exceptionally strong learning atmosphere, where books and access to knowledge are everywhere.

While walking, Laurentina also visited several libraries.

The library has relatively few books about the lord, but those are often the bestsellers.

However, most of these books were first published a hundred years ago, meaning their contents have remained largely unchanged for a long time.

However, even now, books about the lord's ideals and rise to power are basically at the top of the bestseller list for utopian books.

When Laurentina felt tired during her travels, she would also turn to these books, trying to resonate with the people of this country on a spiritual level.

Then she discovered something truly outrageous.

As the leader of Utopia, Huang Cao's words, actions, thoughts, and ideas all embody a certain idiom.

Unity of knowledge and action.

The lord will keep all the promises he has made, and has never broken his word in the past hundred years.

Without a doubt, Huang Cao has never let his people down.

He truly dares to make his promises come true.

"We Sargol... no, there are no such people."

Laurentina closed the book. As an Aegir, the knowledge she had received from childhood was that Sargol was the best in the world.

But the reality was quite different; at least, the social atmosphere of Utopia far exceeded my expectations.

Sargol society is filled with pride and rationality, and it does not welcome any outsiders, but Utopia is different.

For example, Victorians and Talarian can now sit at the same table and make racial jokes about each other.

Above race is a true identity card.

Utopians.

"Perhaps I should build an art museum where all the works of art can be immersed. Utopia has so many things that deserve to shine, but no one displays them. It's such a pity. I will be the one to change that..."

Laurentina pulled a notebook out of her bag and wrote a few large characters on it with a serious expression.

"Idealist's Paradise on Earth."

Chapter 581 Collapse Paradigm: Nothingness

About a week later, thanks to her slightly better physical abilities than the average person, Laurentina had explored most of the capital region of Utopia.

And they solidified their inner convictions.

This country is full of art, and almost everyone is an artist, but no one seems to recognize their talents.

I absolutely will not allow anything wasteful to happen!

After Laurentina returned to her captain's side, she shared her thoughts, accompanied by a small cat-like Sea Creatures.

The little shark was initially annoyed when it first saw this creature destroying its home in Utopia.

But when she saw these quirky creatures rushing through the wheat field against the wind, she couldn't bring herself to hate them.

Why can the Utopians get along so well with these creatures, while we Aegir have to fight as soon as we meet these seafood?

That makes absolutely no sense!

But when a small, cat-like creature came to her feet carrying bread, it carried a friendly greeting from the utopian people not far away.

Laurentina suddenly understood everything.

There must be something wrong with our own civilization!

From childhood to adulthood, Sargol's leadership must have concealed many things from their people that shouldn't have been hidden.

"Little one, thank you. Sigh, if I could get over that hurdle in my heart, maybe I would adopt a child as lovely as you?"

Laurentina lost her home, and this is definitely not something she can get over overnight.

But we must not let the sorrows of the past overshadow the path to the future. Now, Laurentina is about to embark on her journey.

As an artist, I want to bring the treasures of human civilization to the ocean and the sky.

Laurentina returned the card, which had no transaction history, to Huang Cao; the people here were just too hospitable.

If you are truly in trouble, it is easy to get help.

In addition, with the nationwide information network, anyone could easily tell that Laurentina wasn't from Utopia and was probably invited by the lord as a friend.

"Mr. Huang, I've heard from some staff members that you seem to be constantly troubled by the cultural development of Utopia."

Laurentina hit the nail on the head, and a certain blade of grass opposite her nodded quickly.

The little shark very methodically sorted out the current state of Utopia's development in just a few days, which is truly remarkable.

Perhaps it wasn't explained very well, but Master Huang still understood.

It would be wonderful if someone wanted to take over the artistic atmosphere of Utopia.

"Your Excellency, I believe you know that Utopia is not lacking in artistic content, but rather in eyes that can see beauty. I have never seen so many scenes of harmonious coexistence among different races in any other country or region. At least in the records about the land in the Sargol Library, the land is always depicted as a chaotic place."

"That's true. If it weren't for utopia, the countries would be fighting tooth and nail by now."

"So I would like to obtain your permission to have a sculpting or painting studio, where I can create art that reflects utopia during my free time from training."

Goradya: "My little Laurentina, I certainly support your idea, but please take care of your health. Time is limited; out of 24 hours a day, you must take 8 hours to rest."

"I understand that without a healthy body, it's impossible to create more works of art."

Laurentina looked at Master Huang beside her with expectant eyes.

Huang Cao simply waved his hand and granted the largest museum in the neighborhood to this little shark.

"Eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, and eight hours for yourself—this has always been the governing principle of Utopia. There's a terminal machine in the museum; just write a message on it if you need any materials, and someone will deliver them to you quickly."

After saying that, Huang Cao patted the little girl's thin shoulder heavily. "Do a good job in this job, I believe in you!"

Laurentina nodded emphatically, as if she had received a mission.

After spending a few more days in Utopia, Goradya decided to establish her and her apprentice's training ground there.

After training, Laurentina carried the stone that had been cut off by the chainsaw to the museum.

The museum is very simple in design; it's just a main hall with minimal decoration, enough to keep it draft-proof and waterproof.

The group spent a very peaceful time.

During this period, almost nothing happened on earth; life was peaceful and everything proceeded in its normal order.

Until Miss Anma's phone call early in the morning.

"You naughty thing, I miss you."

Anma's voice was soft and sweet, sounding like she had just woken up.

Theresia, along with Lamian and Goradya lying beside her, immediately perked up their ears.

"Hey Cao, have you been neglecting Anma lately? That won't do! We agreed to treat everyone equally."

Huang Cao posted her chat history with a speechless expression, "I didn't neglect you, I've just been really busy lately, and Anma probably really has something to say to me."

Sure enough, after her antics, Anma got down to the important matter that had brought up her phone call earlier that day.

Anma: "Ah Cao, there's something unusual about the door to the north. It seems like something is trying to get out, but thanks to the suppression of your plants, it hasn't caused any major problems yet."

"Understood. Keep the news under wraps. I'll be there in half an hour."

After bidding farewell to the women in his family, Huang Cao quickly dressed in his everyday clothes and then burst forth with unimaginable speed.

It only took half an hour to get from the surrounding area of Kazdel to Sami.

Meanwhile, Sami's forces are also actively implementing defensive strategies.

As expected, what's inside the door is starting to feel a bit oppressive.

You stinky old man, you just wait!

Huang Cao arrived at Utopia's encampment next to the stargate, while Anma had already changed into a set of Utopia-style silver-white armor, looking dashing and heroic.

"Legion Commander, what's the concentration of the collapse? Has it caused any changes in the laws of physics?"

The man known as the Legion Commander professionally produced a set of data and explained the current situation to the lord before him in very concise language.

Soon, Master Huang understood the current situation.

"You mean, a group of infected Ursus troops sneaked into the vicinity of the stargate through a hidden blizzard, and even Anma didn't sense their movements, which is why the things inside became restless."

"Yes, Lord. According to our research, this is a collapse paradigm we have never encountered before. The life forms that are collapsed will completely lose their ability to perceive their surroundings, and at the same time, the surroundings will also be greatly reduced in their ability to perceive them. The combat power of infected life forms will be greatly reduced or even equal to zero."

In short, it's a collapse that greatly reduces both stealth and attack power, Doctor in a difficult position this time without any operators capable of breaking stealth.

Chapter 582: Let's start fighting the red preserved egg!

Through the stargate, Huang Cao could clearly sense the restlessness within.

This is probably their last gamble.

The endless echoes of Kelsong, you must be getting impatient too.

"Anma, did you bring that flower?"

"It's already on the altar. Be careful, Ah Cao. I can sense the malice of this door. Do we have to deal with it now? Perhaps there's a better way."

"These problems need to be solved eventually. We can't keep leaving them to future generations. If we all do this, then future generations will have far too much to do. We can't let them be so overburdened."

Huang Cao pressed his forehead against the Beast Lord's chest; the beast's heart was beating rapidly, a sign of worry.

"Don't worry, we just need to wait here and cooperate with the army to do everything we can to contain the collapse and contamination. Leave everything else to me. I'm not afraid even if the sentries come."

After giving a brief explanation, Huang Cao instructed his men to increase the output power of the device that suppressed the collapse and infection.

At the same time, contact was made with the Witch King, who was still hiding in the warp.

"Witch King, can you pinpoint my location?"

"Based on our calculations, you are currently located in the northernmost part of Sami. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Help me pinpoint the object's movement; I believe you can do it."

"I understand, but it's still better to be careful."

The Witch King didn't say much, but simply cast his silk threads into the vast subspace.

With the help of Power of Abundance, a very tight net was woven.

In subspace, there is no distinction between spatial locations; there are only fixed coordinates, and even time may be chaotic.

"Presis, how far have you progressed in your research on the subspace?"

During the preparations, Huang Cao continued to ask the Cyber Ghost floating in the sky.

Unexpectedly, something resembling a pass was expelled directly from the air.

The collapse of the warp is a special kind of damage independent of the real universe, representing disorder, or the so-called nothingness. Our civilization has largely solved the problem of the warp.

[We have created a considerable number of doors, each of which is a passageway. Warp erosion cannot affect the passageways, but it can invade the real world by damaging the doors.]

[The Sami stargate is the latter case. Actually, repairing the gate would have been fine; there was no need to deal with these subspace creatures at all. If they can be called creatures, then they are, after all, a natural disaster from the universe. There's no way to solve them; we can only coexist peacefully with them.]

[This pass ensures your connection to the real world from deep within the warp and prevents the collapse of the warp from affecting reality. It's a harmless and wonderful little tool. As for dealing with the warp, my authority isn't that high; you'll have to rely on yourself.]
